Marble Falls.

brief interview with MIR. Sam IL
Holland a few days ago and learn,
ed definitely of him of the transfer
of the celebrated Marble Falls
property to the Farmers Alliance
At last the long talked of event Is
a fact, the deeds have been signesl,
and the development of this great
water power and Burnets greatest
boom are events not far in the fu-
ture.
Mr.. Holland is one of the mos
philosophical, liberal and We lt1ss,
citizeRssof Rurnet eoulaty
been very active in pushing shis'
scheme to completion. He is prac-
ticable and honorable in every
thing, and carries a large influence
among the yeomanry of this sec
ton. He explained to us that the
Burnet Alliance moves in the mat
ter with the advice and assistance
of the State Alliance-the charter
of the latter protecting the action
of the former. Burnet raises $780,
600 of the purchase money, and
the Central Alliance guarantees
the other $4,000.
The magnitude and Importance
to this transfer of property can
hardly be over estimated. By the
stroke of four or five citizens
pens, two hundred and thirty
thousand farmers of Texas become
interested in this part of Texas.
This factory forms the germs from
which other grand enterprises will
take root. The money invested at
Marble Falls, operatives employed
the attention the scheme will di-
rect to this part of Texas, will
give Burnet and her magnificent
water power and mineral resources
such a momentum forward as has
never before been witnessed.
Mr.. Holland further informs US
that some time in July, after prop
er advertising, there will be for
NAL sale of town lots in Marble
Falls CITY, and its settlement be
at once instituted. OF this, rore
information will be furnished
hereafter.
WhIie congratulating the people
of Burnet county upon the pluck,
enterprise and public spirit of
such citizens as A. R. johnson, S.
E. Holland, and ]. A. Ramsdell,
we append the gist of the trans
fer that promises to work such

IL; 8 acres-both together about
80 acres, Gen. johnson reserves a
a site and water right to erect and
operate water works at the upper

ery.-Burnet Bulletin.
Reliable authorizes on mental
diseases charge elcohol with caus-
ing u per cent of the cases of in
sanity in Italy, q per cent France,
% per cent in Scotland and 26 per
cent in the United States. If the
True Blues could only have their
way in this campaign, we would
soon have need of several more
insane asylums in Texas for which
the people have to be taxed. Let's
give the people whisky-make
them crazy-and then tax our
selves to keep up the, asylums.
Lots of GOOD sense in that, isn't
